Your inland trip with us is ran from my 24 foot Sea Hunt bay boat that is equipped with a built in Porta Potty in the center console.

Rest assured that my boat is well maintained and outfitted with all of the necessary safety equipment to insure a safe day on the water. We prefer to limit the party to 4 people on the boat but can consider larger parties.

Our inland trips, like all of our trips can be tailored to your specific request. Remember you are the customer. The normal trip leaves the dock at safe light from the Marina. The destination depends on the current activity of the targeted species. You could be fishing the beaches of Cocodrie, Grand Isle or Timbalier Islands for the summer time specks or hitting the inland reefs, canals, ponds and cuts for Specks or Red Fish.

All you will need to bring are your essentials such as sun screen, camera, snack food any alcoholic beverages that you want.

Please, no hard soled shoes on the boat as they mark up the boat and makes it very hard to clean.

Aside from fishing, the inland marshes of South Louisiana are full of wildlife. You will enjoy a full day of cruising the marshes in search of your prey all the while enjoying what Louisiana has to offer.

Your fishing day starts at safe daylight and usually ends around 2:00 PM. At the Marina you are welcome to relax and enjoy the evening while your fish are cleaned and bagged for your ride home.

We are your family oriented fishing guide service, and we promise you will enjoy a full day of cruising the marshes in search of your prey all the while enjoying what Louisiana has to offer. Call to book your trip: 225-667-3634 or 337-592-0003
